(Love) Contract
Making the video
Brian’s POV
3 Days were gone by, since we arrived back at Huntington and honestly I was glad about that.
We met right up with the other guys, have listened to the stuff John had sent us and well, it was nothing new and nothing good…
But we couldn’t help it, we had to work with it… we wouldn’t do the promotion, as John wanted… we would promote our show and hope that none would ask us for the guys that would support us.. that way we wouldn’t betray him and make him sell the pictures before we could do the video shoot… which was today…
I was dreading this day… had a bad feeling in my stomach but there was no other way out of this…
Jimmy did some of the promotion with Zacky and I heard him say on some radio interview we had a big surprise for the fans…
I think John could be thinking we meant his band with the big and awesome surprise, not the “new” video that we would be shooting…
“Babe, are you ready? We need to leave! We just have one day to be done with the complete video.” I yelled upstairs and a minute later I saw Tara walking down looking uncertain.
“I need to be wearing what I wore that day, right?” Tara asked a little uncertain and I nodded.
“Yeah… well… I think Jason got the picture somewhere, let me call and ask him if you are not sure...” I told her and tugged my phone from the pants.
“Jay? Yeah… you got the picture from the… park with Matt and Tara?” I asked him and heard already some people talking in the background and knew he was already at the location.
“Yes, give me a second… got it… what do you need to know?” He asked and I looked at Tara.
“Wait a second.” I handed to phone to Tara and she smiled at me.
“I will get the bag and wait in the car.” I needed some distance… I didn’t know why, but I felt like if I would be close to her right now it would only make it worse for me afterwards… would make it harder for me to see her with Matt…
Maybe I was just imagining things and was making it even weirder, but I was still feeling sick to my stomach thinking about it… maybe it would be best not to be there…
The car door closed and I looked at Tara she handed me the phone back and was about to say something but I cut her off and began to drive.
“Brian…” She tried softly, but I couldn’t… just couldn’t stand this right now.
“Can we please… I… don’t get me wrong, babe… but this is really not easy for me alright? I need some time…” I told her and put the music louder, shutting her out.
Tara’s POV
I knew this must be hard for Brian, but he knew it was just a show… that he and I that was for real… but every time I wanted to tell him that again, he blocked me out…
He didn’t really talk to me since yesterday evening… or rather the sooner this day approached the more he shut me out.
I didn’t know what to say or do to make him feel better, and right now… I gave up.
I couldn’t help him, and I couldn’t take the feeling away from him…
We arrived at the location and a lot of people were running around, I never been on a video set or shooting and haven’t seen all the things going on, there was someone doing the makeup, cameraman… Jason running in between, his brother too. They were trying to assist everything where someone was needed, since we didnt have that many personal for this short timed video shooting.
“First we are shooting the scene with the Band, the couple scene will be the last… so… guys… get into the makeup section… get dressed and then come back here, I will tell you what we have planned.”
Brian walked past me and I stopped him with a hand to his chest…
“Babe… I love you.” He smiled at me and pecked my lips and was gone.
I sighed and walked back to the set, looking at the location and what was planned.
“Hey… you nervous?” Jason stood suddenly beside me making me jump.
“Shit, you scared me. Yeah… a little… Brian is taking this really bad… I don’t know if this was a good idea…” I trusted him with my honest opinion and Jason nodded.
“Matt is not really doing better either… but Jimmy is excited for everyone… he is really into all this… I don’t think that guys slept in the last 3 days at all.” Jason chuckled when he saw the guys approach.
“Tara?” Brian stood behind me and I turned around, the first time since we were here that he spoke to me.
I smiled but when I looked at him my smile fell away “You should go and get ready, the band scenes won’t take that long… after that, Matt and I will be doing the recording of the message for the beginning of the video and then our scenes start… and last… your and Matt's.” With that he turned and went away…
Was this really ruining everything we had?
Would this be the price?
Matt’s POV
We did a lot of takes from different directions… made all the band scenes, playing the song, then us walking from location to location… so we only had the really important scenes left.
The whole video shoot was a big secret and we told everybody nothing… NOTHING is supposed to leak to the outside world, before we say it.
“Guys, that’s a it for this part… we had to move on to the next. Brian and Matt, your turn for the message...” I hadn’t talked to Brian about what we would say actually and I had no idea what would be right, either we had to improvise or Brian had a plan which I doubted.
“You know what to say?” Brian asked confirming my suspicion.
“Not really, how about you?” I asked and he shrugged.
“Maybe Jimmy should be doing this, he is the mastermind behind this thing…” Brian suggested and I liked that thought.
“JIMMY! Come on, you gotta help us out here…” Brian yelled and Jimmy came running.
“You don’t know what to do or what, let me do this…” Jimmy shoved us away a little.
“I got an idea… you two, will do this little acting fight, me getting between it, saying my text and then the video and we will do a last message at the end of the video… oh I can already see it before me…” Jimmy got a dreamy look on his face and I sighed… why couldn’t we look into his head, I still had no idea…
“Are you guys ready? Alright… let’s roll….” Someone yelled and I looked around, who said we are ready.
“Go guys…” Jimmy hissed and I looked at Brian a little helpless, grabbing his shoulder, while he tried to push me away, I was stronger and shoved him away, but Brian was about to kick my leg back, but I sidestepped him, gotta be better than that bro…
I had to grin when suddenly a hand shoved me away from Brian, and Brian let go as well.
“Guys… guys… stop that… Hey fans and family… we hope you liked our show so far… I think we got one special song left for you… and as a little preparation… we have this new video done, just for you. Have fun… and if you wanna know what all this is about… You will find out in the renewed music video of Unholy Confession” Jimmy closed off and the take was done.
“That was good…” Jimmy grinned. “And what last message?”I asked him and Jimmy just smirked at me.
“You will do that at the show, that will be better anyway…” Jimmy looked from Brian to me and we both looked skeptical at Jimmy but he just went away laughing.
“You okay?” I asked Brian, we haven’t really talked during the last days and I saw the tension in Brian’s face.
“Not really, how about you?” He asked and I laid my arm around his shoulder.
“The same… I don’t know if this was a good idea… I don’t want you to worry, Brian… I swear to god, I won’t get between you and Tara, she is yours… you two fit together…But you shouldn’t treat her like she is not here, like she is to blame for all this, because… we are all to blame, not just her.” Brian sighed.
“I know… don’t you think I know?” Brian shrugged my hand off his shoulder and looked at the spot where Tara was waiting for their first scene.
“I just don’t think I can handle all this… it’s freaking weird…” He repeated and I nodded.
“Then let’s finish this and see what will come out of it.” I shoved him into the direction of next location and saw him stumble, making me laugh and him flip me off with a grin, I just hoped it would stay that way.
